Is that not just another knight?
Oh boo
That shit goes so hard, this is deadass the one image that started my 40k journey believe it or not
What in the spelling. “Hgiehr”
FFG uh
I don’t even think knight and Titian houses liked each other
Has some QC issues lol
FFG had uh, interesting editing
They do
They respected one another.
but only the bonded houses and legions
aside from thatn ah
*nah
they don't get a long
the implication is that the house and titan are a bonded one
so they're friends
Wait
There’s a lot of typos and stuff in their books which you’ll see if you read through them, or messed up rules
Titan/Knight houses like/hate each other depending on the group, even individual Titan groups can dislike each other within the same house they serve lol
^
its pure ego
Also I’m a questoris gamer
Did he say that to the same dude twice
Knight Houses always got that drama
Yep lol
Kargos is such a weird character
Wth
and all the backstabbing
Imagine the admech ones would get along better
House Mechanicus's and Titan legios get along better
due to being somewhat closer in culture
The like, 3? Titan houses on mars probably are chummy with the admech knight houses
I think there’s like 4 living mars knight houses
they're friends with the House Mechanicus's on mars
lol
but they still have rivalries
stretching back to the great crusade
During the HH, a knight house is screening a titan detachment as they are assaulting a fortified city. The Knights get fed up with logical things such as "strategy" and charge the wall with such gusto even the titan Princeps is basically like "Alright, these guys aren't bad — stupid — but not bad."
because again massive fucking ego
There’s alliances and rivalries and all that like anything else
bless ego
also
messiah complexes are my favorite complex
they make fun of the other knight houses
and titan legions on mars
for having portions fall traitor
during the heresy
while they didn't at all
(ignore the fact most of them died horribly on Mars)
LMAOOO
If I was a basically a medieval knight and had access to a 10 meter tall giant robot with plasma cannons and a big fuckoff chainsaw, I'd be a massive prick too.
According to civil war of mars
I shoudl make my own knight house tbh
I have like, 4 armingers
I don't have a massive robot and I'm still a prick, so imagine the whole ego boost
I’ll Wiay to see if the codex is hot ass or amazing
you also get to see their last knight lancer on mars go down in an excerpt lol
where it gets fucking mobbed
and overrun by Traitor mechanicum
because it decided to stand and fight
There were houses that had like 30 and were still wiped out
H J USVEIBDLBD
very smart guy girl
All because a traitor knight challenged it to a dual
it did win that dual
tbf
she did win
she also got fucking torn apart
but you know, Honor
™️
not the most stupid loyalist death in the book
tbh
most stupid goes to the Myrmidon who waved down some Thallax

If you can't die with honor what's the point tbh
they were not friendly
Real
Scream about honor and deeds and all that cool shit while stepping on cultists making them a Fine paste
My first homebrew was a knight house
Collateral damage
Mine was a knight character
they go so hard bro
Civil war of mars has a lot of just random ass members of the loyalist or traitor mechanicum
dying a horrible death
its kind of hilarious
in like a dark humor way
mine started off like that, but it spiraled ☠️ 🙏
me an staying focused (mortal enemies)
How do you write a knight house with a messiah complex hm
Oh you can go super religious and bring agents of the imperium sisters
But at what point is that heresy
I could also do a forge world deimos knight house
Write them as being deep in Segmentum Obscurus or Ultima, have them be basically THE bulwark against the chaos gribblies in the sector, keep this up for long enough to become ingrained in the Throne Mechanicus' of the houses Knights.
Boom, savior complex knights in both culture and indoctrination.
please imperial knight codex don’t be absolute trash
Even worse if it's in a post great rift time-line, because they might literally be the saviors of the local area.
(if they remove raise ion shields it will be)
I do have like, 6 space marine armies to release before then
Imperial knights are like
Don't tempt James Worshop.
the 4th best faction in the game rn
but they're low playrate
because all the bad players are scared off
LOL
Yeah but they have before lmao, gsc is basically a different army entirely
This is true
but I wouldn't call them trash
they're like middle of the pack
they're just kind of a mess
Okay less trash and more don’t ruin them for me pretty please :3
lol
I really hope they don’t give knights infantry
they won't
tbh
Most Knight lists are run pure rn
excluding like
Yee
I know chaos knights still spam war dogs
oh
there's leaks btw
for the chaos knight mini
its got a giant meatgrinder like thing on one of its arms
and its a questoris chasis
But do imperials spam
so better then chaos
I CALLED IT
Thank fuck
They got rid of that really cool mechanic from 9th
I assumed the worse
Oh ice
it was even better at the start of 10e
where you could bondsmen between questoris
but then they removed it
I am hoping they add it back with the codex
I think chaos knights are still eating up all the armingers
Me too
they are
they're spamming armigers lol
Their armigers are too good
their big knights aren't good enough
and their detachment FUCKING SUCKS
Even the cultist one?
The cultist one doesn't have raise ion shields DIABOLIC BULWARK

also their army rule is ass as well
harbringers of dread sucks
Pfff
but yeah Diabolic bulwark/Raise ion shields rn
If chaos knights are just getting another weapon the army will probably still remain bad unless it’s like uber shied
is kind of essential for questoris to survive
I mean
if they changed the army rule
- reworked some sheets
I'm sure they'd come out looking better
I think Chaos knights and IK both need to have raise ion shields baked in
as a once per enemy turn thing
you get to raise ion shields on your choice of knight
LMAOOOO
new players need to learn via losing
which sucks ubt
thats just how games work lol
you can't really coddle someone in a wargame that way or else they never learn
If you position terribly any army can start picking you apart
Also EC having no anti tank
It's fairly normal, a lot of games need you to just get over the initial rough patch
I'm still not sure
why EC didn't get preds
or vindicators
or helbrutes
like ????
Or the shooty dinosaur

I legit think it’s a mistake
Anyway gw releasing this army people wanted for years, and then release 2 armies that thr army has no tools to handle
It’s not
It’s very intentionally done imo
I’m not sure why they did it
But there was some sort of goal gameplay wise
I just think it’s a total failure lol
I personally think them not having antitank is fine
Also it’s funny EC have a vehicle detachment
Bring 2 armies when you go fight your local EC player, a normal one and one of all tanks
“Oh yeah let me go get my army from my car”
surely we get more we and ec at adepticon
Try next edition
You have fun at my convenience.
Unless they get a surprise Killteam release
Enjoy your WE lord of executions (I have no proof for this)
Not the worst
I can work with this
This isn’t heresy

four dreadnoughts? a man of your talents?
“The uh, deafening sons, all their weapons have anti vehicle +1 damage”
It’s fine in 40k tbh
Sunkillers in 40k
Tbh
Plasma and Las cannons on meth
Now they’ve fulfilled their obligated anti tank
Lmao
It’s a simple life.
I would do a knight house of visions and stuff but thr last one that did that got tricked into going back in time
And uh, caused themselves to become exiled
This is deep wisdom tbf
And then worse of all became the arminger house
Fate worse then death
Your long and prestigious history
Ending up with you in an armiger
I think they specifically buffed arminger melta guns if I remember correctly
Sounds like Tzeentch trickery at work.
Oh armingers are units of 1 now?
Iron Hands are just the Engineer 38,000 years in the future
Yeah
GW has been doing some weird unit number stuff this edition
Tbf they were treated as solo units once placed last edition
Armigers?
Yea. At least that is how I think of them.
Y'know I thought I would tire of the trope where angels/"holy" looking are evil
But I'm not
IDK why I just find that type of shit cool
Brain Burst is canon
Darktide is actually great in attention to detail tbh
||Also of course when a space marine who's kind shows up he immediately dies||
GRIMDARK

It is well known that if you do a small act of kindness, you'll immediately get mauled/tortured/ripped apart

Stuff like this is a pretty common Psyker attack yeah
Making heads do a pop
generally all the psyker attacks in darktide are like
||I also like to believe that Eisenhorn's boltgun failing to fire for the first time in decades when a chaos child thing was forcing him to is proof that machine spirits exist||
The only other answer is literally plot armor
both
We do know machine spirits exist
True
It’s just that there is a lot of variance
Oh I thought it was like 50/50 on their existence
We just don't know their exact nature.
And even then it depends
Kind of?
Some "machine spirits" are just AI.
Some machine spirits are actual machine spirits.
Also long term usage of some stuff
Leads to it developing an imprinting with the warp sorta
Although it is unknown how much is the warp or just human personification
More complex stuff has a machine spirit as well tbh
I love weapons and objects gaining a personality of sorts tbh.
Yeah
Like idk why but that shit is always cool
I like 40k primarily because it's basically Scifantasy
You get both cool melee weapons AND cool guns!
Win

2.5 hour
To the announcement?

Do NOT awaken a portal to the flayed one dimensions
Lore nerds
Is the "ork color attributes" thing canon or fanon
I know it's exaggerated but is there any substance to it
In terms of, the Gesalt field does affect stuff somewhat
But it’s generally not that extreme
It’s more a reality lubricant, it assists
So red vehicles might run better and push harder a bit but it’s not gonna be anything crazy
Yellow stuff might maximize its payload
Sneak peak: It’s a thesis detailing an argument about why Magnus’ decisions were logical and rational.
What if I'm neither normal nor that deep of a fan?
Then that’s a skill issue
That's a good way to put it
You get sent to Lore Camp
To become…one of us.
And it's the worst structured presentation you've ever seen
The Moar Dakka detachment is what happens when someone in the rules department took the field too literally…
making a butterfly warrior charcater for pathfinder, what waepon- on glave duh
Pathfinder was fun in the one unfinished campaign that I played of it
However I did not like that it took a whole feat just for clerics to not friendly fire or enemy heal on their channel divinity
It also often is a chicken and an egg situation with the gestalt assisting slightly, a trukk with a super souped up engine and a bunch of mods to go fasta is likely to be painted red
bro morrow stands on business
Is he ready for my arrival?
Do human civilians on Nocturne have the same skin and eye pigmentation as the salamanders or is that exclusive to the chapter when they receive their progenoids?
They don’t
They’re normal dark skin colors
The super dark skin and eyes are unique to the chapter
They’re from the geneseed
But they do tend to have dark skin yes
Hence why we have salamanders with East Asian features or whatever
Thx guys
RG has the opposite thing. Even if they are born dark skinned, it will turn white eventually.
People on Nocturne do get darker overall because of the planet's condition.
Mfw my melanin gets stolen
Salamanders defect is the organ which darkens the skin “overloads” and stays when they’re under Nocturnes sun too long
How many successors chapters have their own successors?
"Okay so what's wrong with your Geneseed."
"Well it seems that my skin has become quite literally black."
"...but Black is a skin color."
"No. That's not it. I'm saying black like coal. You can see it, my helmet is off."
"You don't need to be racist to yourself brother."
"Vulkan give me strength, this happens EVERY TIME-"
Implying anyone cares about racism in 40k
On my custom planet kukluxia they do
lmao STOP
You join a campaign but the DM is a Black Templar and Krieg player:
It very much does to a degree.
It just isnt explored because awkward topic lol
Also there's more... obvious targets
Cadians talk shit like "pureblood" and "these mongrels in our newest regiments arent even thorough Cadians" among other planetary shit
Although racism still does exist. It's probably less considering that actual threats are
right there
The setting sticks to genetic drifts more since its kinda more broad than racial topics.
And again less touchy
ish
I mean anyone gives a fuck if you’re racist
Eh again it depends.
Its a bad subject to explore in fiction
Imagine a space marine caring about your racism
I guess if it starts affecting your duty
same as how sexism is still a thing in the Imperium
Like
Nah just in general
They’d care if you’re not racist enough
from nobleman to hivers or whatever
take Brutus' example from pariah nexus and just apologise
"Stop shouting about how you hate mixed blood cadians and start shooting. The Orks are coming."
conflict solved 15m
Greenskins Moment

The Orks are the best race.
They aren't racist, sexist, or homophobic.
They just want to eat, kill, or enslave you
Simple

They are racist
True.
I think Gorkamorka has Orks actually be...
I can't say chill
Slightly less hateful towards humies that paint themselves green
And act like Orks
its less chill more just tolerated iirc
honestly im gonna be honest i cant be assed to remember Gorkamorka lore
goofy ahh setting
The Lho-Squig
Real.
im staying up to watch the previews but ngl i think im just gonna go lie on the bed
Squigs are like
How some tv commercials paint products
Don’t spoil @arctic talon, but Ad Mech and Nids are getting a KT

"USE IT AS HAIR, USE IT AS FOOD, USE THEM AS A PET EVEN! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS YA GIT"
I think what makes me want to skip the reveals is also like

You can leave the hood

lore chat?
yeah
What did I walk into

I would be more interested to know if I can do a Cathay/Bretonnia hybrid army
THAT might actually tempt me to start Old Fantasy.
We goon for reveals here
hush
You cannot
you can't hybrid between any of the old world factions rn
it's normak here
unless you count boarder princes
you get used to it
do you have a question you want to ask?
it can be answered
prolly
yeah
no thanks I’m never coming back here again

Ok, border princes aside, can I take allies?

No
